Gary McManus, Oklahoma Climatological Survey about possible warm, dry weather for early November
The rainfall of last week definitely helped out some of the dry areas of the
state that had developed full-fledged drought conditions. But like I had
previously said, the overall pattern still looks dry and warm. The National
Weather Service’s Climate Prediction Center (CPC) confirms that with their 6-10
and 8-14 day outlooks. In both, they give much of the state increased chances
for warmer and drier weather for the first week or so of November.

The Weather of Halloweens Past, from Gary McManus, the Oklahoma Climatological Survey
The Weather of Halloweens Past
Overall, about one out of five years has recorded significant precipitation
during Halloween. Years with precipitation range from six percent of the years
out in the Panhandle to just over a quarter of years in the east. Typical
temperatures for Halloween are the upper-60s to low-70s for daytime highs and
mid- to upper-40s for nighttime lows. Young trick-or-treaters need jackets
about half of the time across most of the state, but those in the northwestern
parts could use a jacket almost every year.
